The music of Curtis Lee is neo-soul, funk, jazz, and R&B that is both upbeat as well as a slow vibe. His influences include Michael Jackson, Babyface, Maxwell, Musiq SoulChild , Justin Timberlake, Phonte, Al Green, Stevie Wonder , and many more. Curtis Lee has a very active and vibrant stage presence, and his performances can branch out to a jazzier sound while keeping the listeners attention. 

His debut album, Catalogue, was released in the fall of 2015 – a collaboration of the many artists with whom he performs and records. While his focus remained soulful, the myriad of musical flavors found throughout Austin gave Curtis the opportunity to “catalogue” his versatility as well as feature his friends and colleagues. He is now working on his second studio album, where he would like to take his singing career to the next level. He aims to become an original soul artist in the music business and create a nice sound for all ears to hear.

Hello Souncloudians!  This is a bit of an experiment for me.  I am lucky enough to play & record music with the band Mingo Fishtrap.  That is 99% of my musical life.  But there are lots of songs that get written that don't make it to the Mingo records, and demos of songs and tidbits that do make it, but I like the demo, because they're raw, or funny, or whatever.  So I've decided I'd post some here.  Feel free to download and send other folks here. But I'd appreciate it if you didn't distribute the tunes, cuz I'd like to keep track of how many ears are listening.  
This is also where the songs for songwriting groups I'm in might end up...might be private, cuz they usually aren't ready for prime time. But if you want to listen, drop a line.




ECHLO (aka Chloe Charles) initially launched her music career in 2010, releasing a series of jazz- and folk-infused albums and EPs. She toured extensively, performing upwards of 1000 shows across ten countries, and garnered acclaim from high-profile publications including Rolling Stone and Billboard Magazine. While the path of least resistance would have meant she continued happily travelling that road, she felt a deeper yearning to shake things up. “When I first started playing music, it was the guitar I experimented with, and that led me down a wonderful path that brought me all over the world,” she says. “I arrived at a point around 2018 where I felt a bit restless and that I wasn't growing artistically. That led to me starting to write with keys and synths, which opened up a seemingly endless realm of musical possibilities.” It was amid this musical evolution that Chloe assumed the ECHLO moniker and released the single “Head High”, which reached #1 on the CBC Music Top 20 Chart. “ECHLO, in general, evolved from Chloe, who was a bit more introspective. ECHLO is a bit further reaching, a bit more outspoken, generally less reserved and unapologetic about certain concepts and feelings,” she says. Inspired by the likes of Sade & Massive Attack, Chloe’s combination of electronic sounds and live percussion create a minimalist sea for her soulful vocals to float upon.
